I've been in those Club Wembley seats for 6 of the last 7 CC finals. Only ever about 25 % full. My daughter's former work colleague has a 10 year pre-sold debenture on 4 seats but because he is a southerner and sadly football centric, he always goes away with his family for the Bank Holiday and she makes a charitable donation to get the tickets at £50 a throw.

Club Wembley - wider seats, more legroom, free programmes and merchandise, no queues at the bars or loos and a greater choice of drinks and food. Dedicated entrance too.

I shall miss it, but this year I am proud to say we have opted to sit at the Rervers end near the halfway line, albeit in the upper tier. No brainer.

There are another 4 of the upper tier blocks at the Rovers end that are close to a sell out. Leaving aside Club Wembley, there are only about 5000 upper tier tickets left at the time of post, so attendance should be over 80k.

I don't doubt you, but where does this info come from Picky? (hope you don't mind the nickname, we could settle on Picko if you prefer?)

Nice to see you'll be roughing it with us riff raff in the top tier

Living in Tory North Yorkshire?

Club Wembley seats?

Daughter living in Fancy London?

Are you sure you're supposed to bea Rervers fan?

Sorry Goose. Don't get the wrong impression. It's daughter that's the rich and successful kid. All her own work too, as she is incredibly gifted and has worked her socks off. She's nice and down to earth with it too. I'm just a Holderness Road kid me who went to Mersey St school. A poor boy from a poor family, married to a pauper. Can't take any credit for the political persuasion of rural and affluent North Yorkshire either, I'm afraid, as I'm politically apathetic.

Regarding Stan's question about the accuracy of my statement regarding the top tier tickets still available. If you go on to the Rfl ticketing website for the CC Final and try and get 2 tickets together for each of the remaining available blocks, it automatically steers you to the next available row. If you choose these tickets, add them to your basket and then cancel each time, you can repeat to get a rough idea of how sales are progressing in each remaining block. You also need an open copy of Map a Plan for Wembley to show you a drill down of each block and the rows and seat nos. My 5000 guesstimate of unsold tickets is based on this crude but hopefully effective methodology.

Don't make out your a poor man living in a caravan in Pickering more likely retired at 45 sat on a sackful of cash living the high life

I rang the RFL and asked how many seats were still available in the top tier of west stand. Straight away they said about 5000.
I said wow that was quick, they replied well some guy has bought and cancelled every seat there so we are pretty certain.

Wow, that's one way to pass the time waiting for 29th to arrive, I will give you that.

Couldn't you just get an allotment when you retired like every other pensioner?

I read this post while slurping a cup of tea and it's everywhere now. Priceless

Took 15 minutes tops until the abacus broke through overwork.

What's a pensioner, Stan? Not me yet, mate, but not far off. Still need to make a living sexing ferrets I'm afraid.

A noble profession sir. It's good to know North Yorkshire's ferret & pole cat sexuality is in safe hands.

New poster of the year is pretty secure.

I take it rovers haven't sold out their allocation for Wembley as it hasn't been anounced. Appreciate a lot went through rfl myself included. Might be nice for the club to give us a figure on tickets sold.

I know it's over 300

I really think Rovers have missed out here with our terrible web site, surely we gain more revenue if fans buy direct from the club and it appears that a lot of people have had to buy from elsewhere?
